"Enharmonical" is a word in ENGLISH
Of or pertaining to that one of the three kinds of
musical scale (diatonic, chromatic, enharmonic) recognized by the
ancient Greeks, which consisted of quarter tones and major thirds, and
was regarded as the most accurate.
Pertaining to a scale of perfect intonation which
recognizes all the notes and intervals that result from the exact
tuning of diatonic scales and their transposition into other keys.
Pertaining to a change of notes to the eye, while, as
the same keys are used, the instrument can mark no difference to the
ear, as the substitution of A/ for G/.

That, in consequence, we would do well to pay attention to great certainties, to great invocations, to the great 'droughts' and 'rains'. That the temper of our most violent outbursts might benefit from a shade less enthusiasm.I could reply. But what good would it do? I have a simple, resigned, inexplicable sensation that everything that is happening is in the normal order of things and that I am awaiting a season that will come and pass -- because it has come and passed before.
